in reply to How do I test if I file exists without attaching a filehandle to it?

Hi,
Use operators like -e, -r, -T for testing file permissions. 
(-e <FILE/FILEHANDLE> returns true if file exists.
-r <FILE/FILEHANDLE> returns true if file is readable.
-T <FILE/FILEHANDLE> returns true if file is a text file.
